Having just read your post about ...Ah, it is you!!<br /><br />Having just read your post about BD's mysterious inscription, I now find myself unravelling another mystery. Quite an evening! <br /><br />Yes, I am a fan of Oriental Lounge. Have tried it, and enjoyed it. Speaking of ciphers...it's a most intriguing new language for reaching an "oriental" conclusion.<br /><br />Y? Y projects that on you?

This proved rather tricky because our holiday coincided with the last major outbreak of smallpox in Europe. Although we had been inoculated at the airport, people understandably mistook my bites for something more serious, and every time I went outVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-87551400219545426602010-04-09T09:27:38.002+01:002010-04-09T09:27:38.002+01:00:)
